Angular Momentum

Angular Momentum10111051011304Angular MomentumMany aspects of rotational motion are analogous to translational motion. However, some rotational phenomena are bizarre (for example, gyroscope motion) and seem almost magical when first encountered. The theory of angular momentum has profound consequences in quantum mechanics and all of modern physics, and it has led to our understanding of atoms.Angular Momentum and TorqueThe angular momentum with respect to the origin of a particle with position r and momentum p = mv…Next Chapter >< Previous Chapter
